Your Gentle Way Of Loving Me

It’s the humming of the engines on the Greyhound bus and trains That keeps your memory on my mind and here with me Many miles have come between us cold nights on some roadside Bringing back your gentle ways of loving me It’s the thought of how you love me how you treat me how you thrill  me That clears my fogged-up mind to where I see   Some little girl as I walk by just looking at me sadly Bringing back your gentle ways of loving me It’s just your gentle ways of loving me It’s just your gentle ways of loving me It’s the happiness I’ve never found with other loves that bothers And a mother saying how her child loves me     And times you never talked about those late evening hours Bringing back your gentle ways of loving me It’s just your gentle ways of loving me It’s just your gentle ways of loving me It’s just your gentle ways of loving me It’s just your gentle ways of loving me  His tail lights flickered as he pulled  up to the truck stop The same old crowd was hanging out again tonight He said fill up my tank while I go   check my       load It feels like it’s shifting all around He was the kind of man to  do all he could above all he had integrity But  he was so young and on a ten city run in love with a truck stop girl As he went inside he was merrily greeted By the girl with whom he was in love She held out a glass and said have another This is the last time we can meet With her hair piled up high and a look in her eye That would turn any good man’s blood to wine All his eyes could see all his eyes could see Were the stares from all those around him He ran out to the lot and climbed into his rig And drive off without tightening down It was a terrible thing to see what remained Of that rig that poor Danny was in He was young and on a ten city run in love with a truck stop girl
